Now how does that have anything to do with Demigod? Believe it or not, Demigod made me a better human being. Other Demigod fanatics have so too. Every game is accepted except video games in our society. I want to change this as part of the "Zen_God" movement to make the world a better place and will use Demigod as my personal example.
So before my post goes live on "Zen_God" I want your guys opinions, fears, ideas, worries and support if you feel the same way I do

It is from utter importance to keep it short, interesting, and simple in order to compete with the other flashy media that is overwhelming important detailed issues. However, each issue approached by the Zen_God movement will provide links to more detailed information. Most of the links will lead to role model individuals and organizations, that are contacted by the Zen_God movement. Zen_God's slogan is: You and Us. Every one may express anything on their mind on the Zen_God page, daily live stream, YouTube channel, twitter, etc. The Zen_God movement will collect all ideas and speak in one voice for those that are using its platforms. “We want to have fun and laugh, but want to keep the topics serious and important to speed up the betterment of the world” “Everyone agrees when asked: We want the world to become a better place and make things right. Rarely, however, anyone agrees on how to do so. Zen_God steps in to combine the world's wishes with actual practical applications for everyone.” For the detail lovers: -Come up with your own ideas of how to make the world a better place. -post your opinions on the posts on this page. BE HONEST! -Make the world aware of this page to have an impact through Zen_God's voice with this link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Zen_God/310293755704106 -Follow Zen_God on twitter: ZenGod2012 You cannot defeat the Zen_God

He will Minotaur Berserker-rush me, you mean.
Those are all great organizations. The only issue I see is that they get so big and have so many people that they lose the uniqueness of being simple. However I'd love to get in contact with those organizations, and maybe in the future when the Zen_God movement establishes itself I would love to get input from exactly those organizations and put them on the Zen_God page.
Ok that hurt!
ah come on in the end we all lova ya
I'm curious if you joined in on one of his broadcasts or skyped with him and what your take was.
No. I wasn't that curious.
Look, the short version of my views on the subject is phrased rather adequately in my first comment in this thread. That is, I prefer to think Zen is a dumb poorly educated idealist (brains = bad; heart = good), rather than he's shamelessly promoting himself because his motivation is cynically material (brains = okay; heart = utter shit).
What can he do to make his page/broadcasts/piles of generalistic well-intended crap better? First of all, to be taken seriously, one must present his views in a way that is not just heartfelt, but also somewhat competent. What area of expertise am I referring to? Mostly history, literature, and political philosophy. You must know, e. g., what Machiavelli wrote, what Rousseau wrote, etc., before you can even commence to formulate your own opinion on what way and for what reason this world is fucked-up. To rush into it this way, blindly, is preposterously naive and - in this particular case - chock-full of unwarranted pomp by a spoilt teenager brat assuming he can make a difference because, you know, he's good at MOBA-type videogaming.
Honestly, I don't know where to start with Zen. He really needs some basic academical training in human sciences first. That leftist shit our friend doggu is so heartily recommending (the talentless prick Orwell, for instance) is no substitute for being objectively - as far as it is possible - analytical. By being objectively analytical I mean the process of accumulating different views and facts, then processing them to draw your own conclusions, not sticking fanatically to one view, be it Quran, Che Guevara's letters, or Orwell's "1984".
Maybe you have to criticize yourself for once, because you are assuming I have no academic skills because I am a professional gamer. But that is wrong. I've studied at various elite schools and am just about to finish my college degree.
If you could talk to me in skype you might take a lot of the things you said on this forum back and rethink your opinion. This is only possible if you give it a shot and actually come talk to me on my show. Of course no one will force you to do that. And that's fine too. Anyone can have a set opinion about someone else without actually knowing that person. The question is, is that the right way to do it?
Elite, eh? The only thing you are elite at is your over-inflated ego.
Anyway, if you have any sort of education/brain, you must conceal it pretty well. Let's just say that if the best idea you can squeeze out of yourself after reading some serious political philosophy treatises is that pile of generalistic unfocused rubbish... My deepest condolescences.
Seams like alot of people dont like me . I think it cause I talk before I think!
and who are you to judge and give me your deepest condolences, your ego?
You seem to have a short memory span. Quoting your own post:
-post your opinions on the posts on this page. BE HONEST!
That is my opinion. And I am honest. Either remove the request to be honest from the OP, you hypocrite, or take whatever criticism comes your way like a grown-up.
He gave you license to critique his idea and give an honest opinion if he is doing a good job / doing the right thing / what he should be doing better. Not to insult his character. If you post a Sedna build and say "post your opinions. BE HONEST" that doesn't give me a free pass to say choice words about you and insult your education. Don't act like you don't know it or that you've gone past "socially acceptable norms".
Also, that isn't hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is accusing people of being arrogant and calling it "bad", while being arrogant yourself. heh. Or telling people to take whatever criticism comes your way like a grown-up and then you don't take criticism well at all either. heh.
Since everyone is insulting everyone intelligence I think anyone that isn't a math, physics or engineering major is pretty dumb. Any other subject dissolves into memorization and paper writing.
Also I agree with hedgie 100%
What is this phony shit? BANG SOME CHIKS ALREADY!!!! FUAARK
Sigh. They are not meant to be taken literally, or even as a political statement necessarily just as a warning as to how the world might go if we don't keep our eyes open. Apart from that they are a good read. Being objective has nothing to do with my point.
Agree.
IN1, why do you feel the need to repeatedly bring intelligence into question? It's a forum where open discussion is moderated. If Zen wants to question the crap being fed to him in this world I say go for it, who are you to shout him down because you don't like his method. Anyway, why do you repeatedly boast about your intelligence on a gaming forum? If you don't think others are at your level of intelligence here I suggest you go do a PhD, submit your data/opinions to peer reviewed journals and then let them judge you. Perhaps you will gain some perspective and stop feeling the need to belittle others.
@ hedgie my only love:
Yeah, well, I've been waiting for your habitual dose of odium, actually. It's plain in this case you would have sided with Zen even if he were advocating paedophilia. Also, following your logic (don't criticize arrogant people, since you are arrogant yourself), you, being an epitome of snobbery, have no right even to come near this topic. Why don't you go play some more DoW, eh, hedgie?
@ doggu the intellectual:

Wrong. Orwell's novels are a political statement, unless you read them out of their historical context. Do some research yourself. I don't think they are a good read, either, but that's a matter of taste. Perhaps some people like preachy and boring books.

Erm... I have finished my doctoral dissertation 4 years ago. Have half a dozen articles published, too.
i don't say it's not alright for people to be arrogant. i said it's silly to criticize people about being arrogant while being arrogant yourself. Inception, man. One step deeper. And you make me seem way more arrogant than i actually am.
Didn't side with Zen. i don't care what Zen does with his life.
following your logic (don't criticize arrogant people, since you are arrogant yourself)
That's exactly what I said, hedgie. I expect some reading comprehension from a computer genius, ffs.
As a matter of fact, as annoying as your arrogance is, I think you at least have something to back it up: you clearly are a talented, intelligent person. While Zen... ugh... well, let's just say I don't think being great with the UB is a good enough reason for his snobby attitude.
in1 you are so pathetic..
Oh really? Working as some kind of nurse like my younger sister instead of serving in the military like a man is much more pathetic, IMHO. But maybe I'm a bit old-fashioned, I don't know
